IDEAL" 
AUTOMATIC LOOM 



THE "Ideal" automatic loom stands absolutely in a 
class by itself. Its mechanical principles are unique 
and the patents protecting them are basic and un- 
assailable. Every movement of the loom is smooth and 
thoroughly mechanical; in design and construction it com- 
bines simplicity and strength; its durability and freedom 
from breakages and capacity for high percentages of pro- 
duction are recognized, and its ability to weave the highest 
grade of cloth ever produced upon an automatic loom is 
now generally admitted, and it is the only automatic loom 
ever constructed that can use cops or bobbins inter- 
changeably. 

In a word it is a strictly practical machine, built by 
practical men for practical users, and the thousands in- 
stalled within the few years of its existence and the results 
obtained by the mills operating them, together with the 
fact that nearly every mill has placed repeat orders, are 
incontestable evidence of the validity of the claims made 
for this loom. 

The success of the "Ideal" loom is due not solely to its 
automatic features, but in a great measure to the loom 
itself. 

Previous to the advent of the "Ideal" the scope of an 
automatic weft changing loom was limited and maintenance 
expensive. This was due largely to the fact that attention 
had been concentrated on the development of the auto- 
matic mechanism instead of the loom itself, or in other 
words, the weaving mechanism was made of secondary im- 
portance. 

The policy of this Company has been just the reverse of 
the above. Its first efforts were directed entirely towards

+ 



"IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 

the perfection of the highest grade plain cotton loom which 
could be constructed, capable of weaving the widest range 
and best quality of cloth, and its fullest energies were bent 
in this direction until the now universally known Stafford 
plain cotton loom had been thoroughly introduced. 

With the foundation, or "weaving mechanism," per- 
fected, the automatic features were next taken up with the 
same care and thoroughness. The end in view was the pro- 
duction of a simple, strong and durable device which would 
in no way interfere with the weaving features of the loom, but, 
retaining all the properties of the plain cotton loom, would 
perform motion for motion, without the slightest jar or strain, 
the work of a weaver in replacing the spent shuttle with a 
fresh one and restarting the loom. This result was success- 
fully accomplished by the use of important and entirely 
new features which render the weaving and weft replenish- 
ing features of the loom entirely distinct and independent 
one from the other and preclude the possibility of their 
ever being in operation at the same time. 

The "Ideal" automatic loom differs from any other 
in that it changes the shuttle when the filling runs out or 
breaks, the change being effected when the loom is stopped. 
The reserve supply of shuttles is kept in a magazine attached 
to the breast beam; the filling fork indicates the absence of 
weft in the usual way and the loom stops with the shuttle 
in the box at the magazine end. The empty shuttle is then 
ejected into the catcher box, a fresh shuttle carried (not 
thrust) from the magazine and placed in the lay and the 
loom restarts weaving exactly the same as though controlled 
by a weaver operating a plain loom. Sufficient time being 
taken to eliminate sudden and violent movements, the 
change of shuttles is effected without any strain on the loom 
or the automatic mechanism and danger of breakages of 
bobbins, castings, shuttles or injury to the warp or filling is 
entirely done away with. 

The loom is equipped with a mechanical warp stop motion 
of simple design, positive and immediate in its action. 

7 



"IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 



Each end of warp is control ed by one drop wire and is so 
arranged that on the brealcing of a warp end the loom 
stops, rendering it necessary for the weaver to piece the 
broken end before the loom can be restarted. 

As the "Ideal" loom is simph' a high grade plain loom 
to which has been attached an ingenious and simple device 
which automatically changes the shuttle, it is suitable for 
practically every class of goods that is woven on a plain 
loom and can be changed over from one fabric to another 
as readily as any other plain loom. Some of the various 
styles of looms that we build are shown on the pages 
following. 

The construction of our looms, both In material and work- 
manship is of the best and is manifestly superior to anything 
heretofore seen in loom manufacture. We have invested a 
large amount of money in equipping our foundry with mould- 
ing machines with a view of obtaining absolute uniformity in 
our castings and all our departments are equipped with the 
latest up-to-date machines operated by high-grade mechanics 
to obtain the best results at the lowest cost. The reduced 
cost enables us to put in constructive details more labor 
than has ever been done hitherto in loom construction, 
the result of which accrues to the benefit of the mills in larger 
production and less breakages of parts. The fact that the 
shuttle is changed when the loom is at rest and, the transfer 
once accomplished the mechanism is idle until called into 
play again the next time the filling runs out, is another 
reason for the small amount of repairs connected with the 
loom. Reports received from time to time from mills oper- 
ating our looms show extraordinary low cost for repairs 
and up-keep and our own accounts with these mills verify 
these figures. 

Beginning with the earliest installation the last fact is 
interesting as it shows that the wear and tear on the "Ideal" 
loom is no more than on any plain loom. In fact, we believe 
that, due to the extra weight of our machines and the spe- 
cial pains taken in construction, at the expiration of a 



"IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 



term of years they will show less wear than any other looms, 
regardless of the type. Further than this, the actual cost 
for up-keep for the period under consideration would be less 
for the "Ideal" than for any of its competitors. 

The great objection to automatic looms prior to the in- 
troduction of the "Ideal" lay in the use of a single shuttle, 
the change of filling being accomplished with the loom in 
motion by violently forcing a fresh bobbin into the place of 
the spent one, the incoming bobbin driving the other out 
through the bottom of the shuttle. This construction neces- 
sarily caused constant breakages of bobbins and castings 
and frequently tore out an entire warp, entailing serious 
loss to the mill, not only in bobbins and castings but in pro- 
duction as well. Again, in bobbin-changing looms a self- 
threading shuttle was used and as it frequently happened 
that it failed to thread itself, thick and thin places were 
unavoidable hence the well-founded complaint that auto- 
matic weaving was imperfect. Conditions now are quite 
different however, broken bobbins are never heard of in 
mills operating "Ideal" looms and smash -hands are an 
unknown quantity. It is also generally conceded that on a 
question of quality of production there are no looms, either 
plain or automatic, which can show such excellent and con- 
sistent results.

MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION 

OF THE 

AUTOMATIC SHUTTLE 
CHANGING MOTION 



PAGES II to 15 and the accompanying illustrations 
give a comprehensive idea of the manner in 
which the automatic shuttle replenishing motion is 
operated. 

In Plates 2 and 3 K indicates a combination friction 
pulley and bevel gear; I indicates a shaft having a bevel 
pinion, J, on one end and a worm, H, on the other. The 
pinion J engages with the gear and the worm H with the 
worm wheel G. It follows that as the pulley K has a con- 
tinuous motion the worm wheel G must also have a con- 
tinuous motion but at a comparatively slow speed. This 
worm wheel is loose on the shaft L and carries no load until 
brought into use by means of the filling fork which detects 
the absence of weft in the usual way and through its con- 
nection gives the impetus to the change shaft. This is ac- 
complished through the connection C and E and the clutch 
lever F which is mounted on a hub keyed to the cross shaft. 
This lever F is caused to engage with the disk cast integral 
with the worm wheel with the result that the cross shaft is 
set in motion from the worm gear. Through the medium 
of cams on the opposite end of the shaft (see Plate i) the 
changing of the shuttle is accomplished. 

The cams referred to are three in number; two of them 
are cast together as a single casting and the third is locked to 
the other two in such a way that it is impossible for them to 
get out of time. Turning to Plate i , S indicates the conveyor 
lever cam and W the starting lever cam which is cast inte- 
gral with the front board cam. The front board cam is the 
edge cam shown in contact with the roll on the lever N. 

11 




PLATE 2 
Automatic Loom — Shipper End 



12 



IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 



The operations controlled by the cams are as follows: 
as the cross shaft revolves, the cam S starts the conveyor 
lever forward to receive a fresh shuttle from the magazine T. 
The cam W through the lever N and connector O now raises 
the front board M to permit the spent shuttle to be ejected 
by the continued action of this same lever N which brings 
into operation the ejector Q and thus throws out the shuttle 
to be guided by the leather apron P' into the receiving 
box r. The conveyor lever now starts back, carrying a 
fresh shuttle. The front board is kept raised to permit of 
placing this shuttle in the box. After this is done, the front 
board is closed by means of a spring and the conveyor 
lever starts towards its normal position. The starting lever 
cam W now gives motion to the lever X. This motion con- 
tinues through the shipper rod Y and the giveaway lever Z 
throws in the shipper handle and starts the loom. By this 
time the conveyor lever has returned to its normal position 
and the clutch lever F (Plates 2 and 3), coming in contact 
with the cam lever E, is thrown out and the cycle of opera- 
tions is completed. The cross shaft and all the parts and 
connections are now idle, and remain so until it is necessary 
to replenish the filling again, the entire operation being 
caused by a single revolution of the cam. 

To retrace our steps a little, we notice that as the spent 
shuttle is ejected and falls into the receiving box V its fall 
is checked by the plate C, so that it falls easily and without 
shock into the box and thus is prevented from receiving 
injury or undue wear. The plate C, however, has a double 
function. In addition to checking the fall of the ejected 
shuttle it prevents the possibility of there being two shuttles 
in the loom at once. Were it not for this device such a sit- 
uation might develop through accident or through some fault 
of the weaver. The plate C acts in connection with the 
weighted lever D' and the hook E'. Normally, as the 
conveyor lever goes forward to receive a new shuttle, 
the hook engages with a recess which can be seen in the 
conveyor lever R. This hook is released when the spent 

13 




W I 

< o 

Oh h-1 



14 



IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 



shuttle falls on the plate on its way into the receiver box and 
thus frees the conveyor lever so that it can perform the rest 
of its normal functions; but if no shuttle is ejected the hook 
remains engaged with the conveyor lever so that the lever 
is held away from its cam. The cam thus completes its 
rotation without giving the normal motion to the conveyor 
lever; thus no new shuttle is placed in the loom and the 
loom will not start. 

Another safety device guards the motion that operates the 
cross shaft at D (Plate 2). This device renders it impossible 
for the worm wheel to give motion to the cross shaft unless 
it is thrown into engagement in the normal way through the 
filling fork. The magazine also yields to prevent breakage of 
shuttle If caught. 

The warp stop motion is driven by the gear G' (Plate i) 
on the bottom shaft; this gear drives the gear H', on which 
is a cam that gives a reciprocating motion to the lever L'. 
The follower bar is driven by N' and receives motion 
from the connection rod O' and a crank and swivel on the 
driven gear shaft. As the follower bar travels backward 
and forward it causes the hook J', by means of a wire con- 
nector, to clear the giveaway collar F' on the rod Y. If, 
however, the motion of the follower bar is arrested by a 
fallen drop wire K of which there is one for each warp end, 
the hook is not lifted but engages with the giveaway collar 
F' on its movement, when as It goes forward it carries the 
rod Y with it. This rod knocks off the shipper handle and 
stops the loom.

PICK-FINDER 



THIS device is used in making 3 harness goods 
where the occurrence of frequent miss-picks is a 
serious defect and provides a simple and practical 
way of guarding against such imperfections without adding 
to the cost of the goods by increased waste of yarn, bobbin 
strippers or special preparation in other departments. 

In the case of an "Ideal" automatic loom making plain 
goods, as soon as the filling runs out the loom stops and after 
the spent shuttle is ejected the fresh one is placed in the lay 
and the loom restarts weaving. There is an immediate 
change of shuttles whenever the filling fork indicates the 
absence of weft providing the shuttle is in the box at the 
magazine end and if the shuttle happens to be in the op- 
posite end it is picked across and then the change is effected. 
It will be readily understood, however, that were the same 
thing done in weaving 3 harness goods there would be 
numerous defects in the goods due to miss-picks. If the 
shuttle were travelling toward the shipper end when the 
break occurred, it would be picked empty through the next 
shed into the magazine end, when the change would be 
effected and the first pick out of the new shuttle would go 
through the following shed. In this case, if the break hap- 
pened in the first shed, the new shuttle would be picked first 
through the third shed and so leave a partial miss-pick in 
the first and a complete pick out of the second. Again, 
if the break occurred when the shuttle was travelling 
toward the magazine end, the first pick from the new shuttle 
would go through the following shed, which would be cor- 
rect, but there would be a partial pick missing out of the 
shed where the filling ran out. Now it is the recurrence of 
such defects as this that the pick finder is designed to pre- 
vent and it does so in a simple and practical manner by 
delaying the change of the shuttle when the filling has 
become exhausted until the spent shuttle is in the box at 
the magazine end and the harnesses are in such position 

17 



IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 



that the first pick from the new shuttle is sure to go through 
the same shed where the break occurred. Thus, if the 
shuttle is travelling toward the magazine end when the 
filling runs out, it will be picked twice empty, that is, into 
the other box and back again and the change will be effected 
on the next pick when the same shed is up again that con- 
tained the last pick or partial pick from the spent shuttle 
(see diagram). It should be noted, however, that immedi- 
ately the filling fork indicates, the take-up and let-off mecha- 
nisms are thrown out so that there are no thin places, which 
otherwise would be the case were these motions not stopped 
until the shuttle was actually changed. In the other case, 
when the break occurs with the shuttle travelling toward 
the shipper end, it will be observed (see diagram) that 
picking the empty shuttle twice will bring the correct 
shed up again but the shuttle will be at the shipper end 
and consequently cannot be changed; another pick will 
bring it into the right box but the wrong shed will be up, 
so it is picked twice more; the loom then stops, the shuttle 
is changed and it will be noted that the first pick from the 
new shuttle goes through the shed where the break occurred 
the same as in the first case except that there the empty 
shuttle was picked twice whereas here it is picked five times.

LOOM SETTING rOR 
PLAIN TWO-HARNESS GOODS 



A FTER loom has been set level on the floor, set first from 
/—\ top of loom side to top of whip roll bearing 7"; from 
-*- -^ top of loom side to top of warp stop stand 4^"; set the 
warp stop to just clear the cranks; whip roll in the outer bear- 
ing. Next set the follower bar so that it will pass under the 
contact bars an equal distance both on the front and back 
contact bars. The giveaway lever to pass an equal dis- 
tance on each side of the centre; then put the follower bar 
on full throw; set the cam so that itwill just begin to move the 
lever. Set the lifting collar so that hook is lifted just clear of 
the knock off collar. Then put the shuttleinthemagazine end 
and set lay i" forward of the back centre. Then time the 
warp stop so that the cam will be at nearly full throw. Set 
the adjusting screw so that hook is held out of contact with 
the knock ofl^ collar when cam is at half throw. Care should 
be taken to see that the lifting finger lifts equally on each 
side of the centre. 

2. Shipper Motion. First see that the vertical shaft 
runs freely and that the worm meshes well In the worm wheel 
and the bevel gear meshes well into the pulley. Then set 
your friction so that it will carry the loom easily, care being 
used in this setting so as not to get more friction than is 
needed. For instance, when the dagger is against the steel, 
and the shipper handle is pulled on, the pulley should slip 
on the friction so as to prevent the belt from slipping ofi" 
the pulley. Set the giveaway lever so that the movement 
will be equal on each side of the centre. Then set the 
knock off collar as far under the shipper handle as possible; 
pull the shipper handle on and set firmly against the same; 
then see that the spring on the giveaway lever is strong 
enough to pull the shipper on without stretching. 

3. Brake Motion. See that the brake shoe clears 
the brake wheel when the loom is running; then knock 

19 



"IDEAL" AUTOAIATIC LOOM 



the shipper handle off and take up on the brake rod until 
the shipper handle will move about ^" before coming 
against the brake lever to take the brake off when starting 
the loom. 

4. Filling Fork. Put the lay on front centre, shuttle 
in the pulley end of the loom, fork flush with the back of 
filling grate; then set cam so there will be |" between the 
fork hook and filling lever hook. Care should be used to 
take away any lost motion between the fork and shipper 
handle. 

5. Conveyor Lever. Put the lay i" forward of back 
centre, let conveyor lever just clear the race plate when 
forward; see that the conveyor top is square with the lay; 
then put the lay on front centre and set the roll in the con- 
veyor lever so that the conveyor finger will clear lay f" 
when magazine shaft is at rest. 

6. Magazine Shaft. Put the starting lever in the 
pocket of the starting cam; set conveyor cam with stop 
against the bar on the starting cam, the plunger in the disc 
on opposite end of shaft to be half way between the high 
and low point on the cam lever with cam lever locked in 
position, the plunger to be flush with the inside of the disc. 
Be sure there is no end pla}' in the shaft and tighten up all 
parts. 

7. Magazine. Let the shuttle rest on magazine bottoms 
just touching the conveyor fingers, the magazine gate to 
just pass under the next shuttle on forward movement 
of the conveyor lever, care being taken that the shuttles 
do not fall on this gate, but rather as the gate passes under 
it will raise the shuttles clear of the bottom shuttle so that 
this shuttle ma)' pass out of the magazine freely without the 
weight of the shuttle above bearing on it. 

8. Ejector. When the front board or shuttle box is 
lifted to eject the spent shuttle, care should be used that it 
lifts only high enough to push the empty shuttle out of the 

20 



"IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 

box and the ejector recedes under the swell and out of 
the way of the incoming shuttle. This adjustment is made 
by taking up or letting out the connector rod from the 
shuttle box to the cam or by the set screw which comes into 
contact with front board as it is raised. 

9. Catcher Box. Put lay on front centre, catcher 
box to just clear picking stick and high enough so that the 
safety hook will be on a level line; set the tumbler with its 
lower edge flush with the bevel edge on the catcher box. 

10. Locking Motion. Pull the shipper handle on and 
set collar so that the hook is pulled across the release latch 
enough to lock the same. 

11. The final setting is the collar on the wire from the 
lifting lever down to the release latch starting the automatic 
motion. This collar is usually set i" above the lifting lever. 



21

22 



TAKE-UP MOTION 



THE take-up motion is driven by a shaft and worm, 
which in turn are driven by a crown gear cast on the 
hub of the large gear on the cam shaft. The dia- 
gram (Plate 5) shows the train of gears which in this case 
provides for one pick in the cloth for each pick in the change 
gear. The calculation is as follows: 

76 X 90 X 24 X 2 
= I 

32 X 30 X I X 24 X 14.25 

It can also be arranged to give two picks for each tooth in 
change gear by changing the intermediate gear pinion 
to 15 T or by using a 16 T change gear pinion. Where from 
68 to 136 picks are called for the take up would ordinarily 
be laid out in this way. For picks in excess of 136 the motion 
will give four picks for each tooth in change gear by using a 
15 T intermediate gear pinion and a 16 T change gear pinion. 
For certain goods such as corduroys where the pick is very 
high we supply a negative take-up motion if required.

The loom shown in illustration is one of our standard 40" 
automatic looms equipped for two harness work. It is suitable 
for almost every variety of goods that can be made with two 
harnesses, such as shirtings, sheetings, fine lawns, osnaburgs, 
— to mention but a few, — and is readily convertible to make 
3, 4 or 5 harness fabrics or to run with a dobby or other 
fancy motions. All "Ideal" looms use cop or bobbin filling 
equally well, and are extremely easy on the yarn, both warp 
and filling. The normal speed of this loom is 165 picks.

denims, shirtings, and other goods made with three harnesses 
where miss-picks have to be guarded against. It is operated 
with two filling forks so that the cloth space is reduced about 
i|", that is, on an ordinary 32'' loom equipped with the pick- 
finder motion the limit of width for the cloth would be 3o|". 
In ordering looms this point should be remembered. This

loom but has the same pleasing general lines as the smaller 
models. Weight has been added where most needed; 
the girts and shafting are all made suitably heavy to give 
the loom the required stiffness, besides which there is a 
centre transom which gives extra support for the breast 
beam and another bearing for the cross shafts and warp 
stop. All the moving parts are made extra heavy and the 
lay is reinforced by an angle iron extending the entire width

This class of goods is made with 4 harnesses alternating 
3 up and I down and 3 down and i up. A feature of this 
loom is the head motion (patented), which is of a very simple 
type, and does away with many of the objections found 
in side cams. The harness cams in this model are on the 
jack shaft on the inside of the loom and the weave can readily 
be changed by a substitution of new cams. A point of great 
importance common to all our automatic looms is the readi- 
ness with which they can be changed over from one style 
of goods to another.

machine and the number 3 model has also space for 1 2 harnesses. 
These looms are being operated with great success on a wide 
variety of fabrics ranging from dress goods to coarse towels 
using a cop 2}^^" in diameter. The dobby is driven by a 
crank from the bottom shaft and the cylinder may be either 
pawl drive (with double index dobbies only) or worm drive 
by chain from crank shaft. Stafford dobbies are the stand- 
ard of excellence. For further description of these machines 
see page 45. 



Equipment 

Same general equipment as on our standard 40" loom. 
Stafford standard dobby, double or single index. 
Special equipment, such as multiplier, fringe 

motion, jumper motion, leno slackener motion,

"IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 



Worsted Loom 

One of the most recent adaptions of "Ideal" automatic 
looms is for the weaving of worsteds and woollens where 
one color of filling is used. The fact that Stafford looms 
weave under plain loom conditions is an important factor 
in increasing their value in such lines as the above where 
automatic looms have only been partially successful before. 
The field is a large one and the opportunities for making 
substantial savings unusually good. Where conditions 
require it a positive dobby is furnished of a new and im- 
proved design. 



Equipment 

Automatic shuttle-changing motion. 

Mechanical warp-stop. 

Friction let-off. 

3" pipe whip roll (adjustable). 

Beam and one-half per loom. 

Worm take-up. 

Metal cloth roll. 

Iron breast beam.

IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 



Duck and T^ire Fabric Loom 

This is a special heavy type of loom for making up to 
i2-ounce ducks and tire fabrics and weighs over 3000 pounds 
for a loom to make 30" cloth. This is a new model designed 
and built with the utmost care to give the best results on 
the class of goods above named. It is a strong, rigid machine 
and capable of being operated at high speed with a minimum 
of breakage and wear and tear. There is a steady and grow- 
ing demand for looms of this type and the one illustrated 
on the opposite page represents the last word in modern 
labor-saving duck loom construction. 



Equipment 

Automatic shuttle-changing motion. 

Mechanical warp-stop. 

Special double friction let-off. Lay extra heavy 

and reinforced. 
17" pulley. 

Centre bearing for crank shaft. 
Double whip roll 2\i C. R. steel. 
Special heavy take-up.

IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 



Terry-towel Loom 



This loom is constructed to weave teriy-towels without any 
chain stitch or fringe, and with one color of filling. The 
harnesses are operated by a special dobby head. Seven 
levers are used; four operate the harnesses, one for the terry 
motion, one for regulating the weights on the top beam and 
one for the "Cramming" motion when the border is woven. 
The metal chain controls the levers and the wooden chain 
(see illustration) the length of the towels and the plain 
weave. 



Equipment 

Automatic shuttle-changing motion. 

Mechanical warp-stop. 

Special terry motion. 

Beam stands for two beams. 

Double friction let-off. 

Three beams per loom. 

Three pick gears per loom.

PLATE 16 

DOBBY 



44 



"IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 



Dobby 

For weaving all manner of fancy goods ranging from 8 
to 25 harnesses the standard Stafford dobby is the machine 
best suited for the purpose. It is made in two gauges, 
f " and y'g", but the former is what is generally used and will 
handle successfully all but the very heaviest weaves. It 
is made either single or double index, and the angular shed 
feature is obtained in a simple and ingenious manner. 
It is a strong, rugged machine, and has all parts readily 
accessible to a fixer. The usual fancy motions, such as 
leno motion, two weave motions and multipliers, can be 
readily attached at an}' time. 



Equipment 

Stafford standard dobby, single or double index. 

Hooks and jacks of malleable iron. 

Special heavy knife connections. 

Harness leveller. 

Drive either by crank from bottom shaft or gears 

from crank shaft. 
Cylinder driven by worm and chain from crank 

shaft or by pawl and ratchet. 
30 bars of chain per dobby. 
Pegs for one-quarter the number of holes in chain.

"IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 



Floor Plan 

The table on the opposite page gives the principal dimensions 
of the different sizes and models in a comprehensive manner. 
The figures contained therein are subject to slight variations 
from time to time as changes are made in the construction 
of the looms, but for general purposes are substantially 
correct. It is suggested, however, that where it is desired 
to have a complete mill floor laid out, a blue print of the 
same be sent us and we will sketch the looms in. The 
different models designated i, 2 and 3 vary chiefly in the 
depth from front to rear. Number i model will take a 20 
harness dobby, number 2 a 12 harness and number 3 has 
space for 12 harnesses. Model number i is customarily fur- 
nished except in cases where looms are going into an old mill 
and the floor space is restricted. In such cases it is some- 
times found advisable to substitute one of the other models 
in order to get in the required number of looms. Outside of 
this one point the different models are practically identical. 



47 



"IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOOM 



Templi 



es 

We make several models of temples for the various styles 
of goods and have burrs to suit whatever the conditions call 
for. The temple at the magazine end is equipped with a 
cutter which severs the end of filling extending from the 
magazine to the selvage each time the shuttle is changed. 
Our new model knife cuts the filling close to the selvage, 
and is a distinct improvement over earlier types, is easily 
kept in order and gives little trouble to either weaver or 
fixer. 



Drop Waives 



We pay particular attention to the finish of our drop wires 
in order to save fraying of warp yarns. In ordering drop 
wires it is well to provide for about 20 per cent, more than 
the looms actually call for so as to have a reasonable supply 
on hand for drawing-in purposes. All our drop wires are 
punched for the drawing-in machine. 



48 



"IDEAL" AUTOMATIC LOO M 



Shipping 

All our goods are sold F. O. B. Readville, Mass. We take 
every possible care in packing to ensure against breakages, 
but if any shipment is damaged in transit, claim should 
be filed with the Transportation Company. We cannot be 
held responsible for any claims of this description but are 
always ready to assist as far as possible in obtaining a 
satisfactory adjudication of such cases. 

In shipping looms into the South the custom is to double- 
deck them when possible and in this way 20 looms are fre- 
quently shipped in a car. To near-by points where lower 
freight rates prevail this is not done unless specially requested 
at the time the order is placed. A list accompanies each 
shipment and should be checked against contents immedi- 
ately upon receipt and any shortage reported at once. 

In ordering supplies it is important that full shipping 
instructions be given, otherwise we use our discretion. It 
is our custom to ship by freight in all cases where no definite 
instructions are furnished, unless the shipment be so small 
that the express charges will not exceed the freight, but in 
all matters of this kind which are left with us to decide 
we consider our customer's interests and our own as iden- 
tical, and act according to our best judgment.
